Editorial Reviews
from the Old West-dusted "Dirty Horse" to the twangy, tribal, Jefferson Airplane-style freak-out of "Disco #2" to gentle Radiohead/Byrds hybrid
Product Description
Gram Rabbit emerged from the high desert of Joshua Tree, California armed with a repertoire partaking of reverberant space rock, electro-pop glitz, shadowy spaghetti-Western twang, and the low-down sexiness of the seemlier Las Vegas lounge in equal measures. This trio was born from the muso-spiritual melding of diverse, extraordinary souls: singer/keyboardist/guitarist Jesika von Rabbit; guitarist/singer Todd Rutherford; and Travis Cline, their sample-guru and bassist.
Gram Rabbit’s debut album, Music To Start a Cult To, was recorded with Ethan Allen producing (Tricky, Kristin Hersh and Luscious Jackson, etc.) Echoing the musical and personal odysseys that led to the band members creating this album, each track takes the listener on a unique journey shepherded by the stirring, soulful, and seductive vocal stylings of bewitching front woman, Jesika von Rabbit.
Music To Start a Cult To kicks off with the leather-chapped sing-a-long "Dirty Horse," a fanciful recounting of a rapprochement between Jesus and the Devil. "Witness" is an ode to self-actualization, set to a sinuous beat and Space Invaders synth stylings. "Kill A Man" sets a deceptively winsome commentary on the culture of gratuitous violence to gentle guitar strumming, interwoven with electronic cirrus clouds. "Devil's Playground" is somber tumbleweed-choked country-folk depicting the common struggle of everyday life.
Imagine walking into a honkytonk, deep in the heart of desert country. The clientele includes devil worshippers, witches, hippies, rock climbers, military men, and the random soul-searching tourist, all gathered to hear alien frequencies channeled by Morse code keyboards, slithering reverb-laden guitars, tick-tocking drum machines and samplers that yield a shocking surprise every 40 odd seconds. All eyes, however, are focused on the singer; she's wearing bunny ears. Oh-so-sexily, she deadpans, "Sometimes all it takes is a little smile or some chocolate cake; to put a spring in the step of the bi-polar fool."

Down the Royal Order of Rabbits hole..........2007-03-14
A unique blend of techno, folk, and trance this band will never fail to deliver individuality and soothing, rhythmic sound.
Definitely for those who want to expand their musical mind!
Kinky Sex.......2005-09-16
This band really draws you in.......2005-07-12
This is a band that is great on disk, but to experience them live is beyond the pale...
oh, and the dancing rabbits, the dancing rabbits....
Twilight ZOne.......2005-03-20
This music has this dark undertone to go with the western twang/electronic sampling...and when you are emerged in it's sound and von Rabbits' voice and the lyrics, and you close your eyes...you FEEL the nights' stars above you...the dry desert wind on your skin...your mind opens and you think maybe aliens do exist... ;)
The tunes are very much their own and I cannot honestly say there are any obvious influences of anyone else's music, which is how 99.9% of the bands sound these days.
My father-in law lives in the desert and has seen Gram Rabbit play many times at the Beatnik and says they are excellent live(I'm still upset that he didn't tell me about them!), so I hope I get to catch their show in a smaller venue before they have too many followers in their Royal Order of Rabbits!
At the same time that I'd like to be selfish and keep them all to myself, I can't help but spread the word of the Rabbit with the World! GET IT!
